The Girl Who Heard Dragons

Aramina's family were 'holdless'. Driven out of their home after the massacre at Ruatha, they were forced to roam the land, seeking shelter and protection wherever they could. And now, after a period in the Igen caverns, they had to flee yet again -for the evil Lady Holdless Thella had discovered Aramina's unusual gift - she could 'hear' dragons - and Thella planned to exploit this gift for her own ends. At dead of night the little family began their flight through the forests and mountains of Pern - pursued by Lady Thella. But this time the dragons were to play a part in Aramina's destiny. The Girl Who Heard Dragons and fourteen other stories of alien worlds and strange beings - from the magic pen of Anne McCaffrey.
